I appreciate it!<br/><br/>Those are sadder range maps. I think <i>Coleura seychellensis'</i> is the sadder because it requires an arrow, and also because I've long accepted that the baiji is gone and don't even get my hopes up. <br/><br/>Good point about the passenger pigeons and Carolina parakeets. Too much of something can quickly turn to none. Thank you, Neil! I appreciate it!

Good point about the passenger pigeons and Carolina parakeets. Too much of something can quickly turn to none.

Coleura seychellensis‘ range map might be even sadder. Lipotes‘ might be the saddest though.
